Culture of Losers

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

All the pros that worked for this company are gone. Only the incompetent losers are left.

Cons

After all these years RFE, you guys just can't get it right. Every CEO you picked over the past 10+ years has been an epic failure and loser, especially this one. No CFO you pick can make their numbers work. No one can sell a new account. The technology is a joke. It's all talk and no walk! Look at the website. It's all fluff. Where's all the "BIG" wins? Brian C, the only thing you know how to do is cut labor and hire your friends. Spending your days "Liking" and "Celebrating" posts on LinkedIn is never going to produce results. You put profits before people. You promote your loser friends to leadership roles and pretend to win. You and your crew are a shining example of how not to run a company. Brian, you and your ELT's (Extreme Loser Team) need to pack-up and go home. RFE, from what this company was 10+ years ago to what it is today is an embarrassment. Over the past 10+ years the culture has gone from "focus on the customer" to "focus on the profits". "Trust in the team" to "don't trust anyone". "Go the extra mile" to "do the bare minimum not to get fired". Besides picking loser CEOs and creating a losing culture, what else are you good at, RFE? Are you ever gonna try to make this company great? Or, are you gonna just keep letting PureRED sink further and further into the ground? Maybe you guys make too much money off the backs of the little guys here to even care... either way, it's embarrassing.

Outsourcing/"Unlimited PTO"

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

It's a comfortable job if you have support to pay your bills through someone else. As long as you do your job management will be happy.

Cons

Recently the company laid off 20+ employees for their "Purered initiative" to expand globally. And that means they are outsourcing our jobs to other countries to save a buck. And they introduced a "unlimited" pto policy. This "unlimited" pto policy has limits because anyone taking advantage of this "unlimited" pto will be disciplined. And those who accrued a ton of vacation days from the old policy are flat out of luck if they happen to lose their job and can't get paid out for what they earned. You will rarely hear any good feedback, just the negative. You'll get called out for other's mistakes.

A sad situation

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

• The actual workers on the floor are amazing, some of the most down to earth, relatable people you'll meet. • There's always food before management drops another bomb on us. • Pretty good amount of PTO.

Cons

So....all the negative reviews are true. It's been steadily going downhill for the past year or two. The problem, as other employees have mentioned, is there is a deep divide between management and the people who actually come in, sit down, and do the work. Honestly, nobody here really knows who is in charge of what anymore. Roles are being invented, high up management (who nobody really knows, since they don’t normally work in this office) keeps advising us lesser employees to 'apply for a management role!'....when absolutely ZERO is known about the role, what it pays, who reports to it.....Honestly they don't even know WHAT they want the new manager to do, they just want to see who will apply for it, and they're going to 'go from there'. As others have mentioned, our production workers have been stuffed in the warehouse, in temporary workspaces that resemble a call center, with not enough desk space to fit their required number of screens. Last week, there was a power outage and they were literally sent an email stating that until the situation was figured out, they are encouraged to bring 'blankets and snuggies' to work with the impending winter coming....yes. You read that right. All of this was done in an effort to 'improve company culture'...which is completely laughable because the person who made this decision doesn't even work in this office. That particular individual came from an office up north and has no idea what the current culture is. We've been 'trying to get a building permit' for over a year now, a date that gets hilariously pushed back at every Town Hall meeting we have. There is no excuse for this. Signing a multi-million dollar contract with one of the largest grocery chains in the nation, and you can't get a building permit? Get out of here.
